System Access does okay. It will not report accurately when moving the sliders, but if you shift tab and then tab back to the slider you want, you should get the right report. For example, my engine sounds are set at 14. To adjust them, I tab to the slider and seeing that it is at 14, I move the slider to the level I want and then shift tab and then tab and all is well. I normally count how many times I move it and don't even have to shift tab and tab back anymore.

However, whenever I launch iyp, espeak reverts to its slowest rate. after I get the its your plane prompt, I can say decrease speech rate and I get the second fastest rate that espeak can do and then I can say "increase speech rate" and it will go up once more. however, I can't get this to save no matter what I try. every relaunch of iyp gets me the slowest rate again. think it might be time to restart my installation. Maybe tomorrow after work when I can spend about 4 hours doing fsx iyp, radar contact, a bunch of extra aircraft which I hope I can find again, a couple of sound packs and some add ons which give me extra traffic at Canadian airports. I have had a couple of other strange issues since I installed fsx where sometimes there will be no voice for atc regardless of the setting in the sounds settings. since I am comtemplating doing this, has anyone gotten the sliders for setting things like graphics levels volumes etc with any degree of accuracy? I have tried setting these things with 3 screen readers and I don't think any of them report accurately. wish I could just edit a text file and make life easier.
